I am retiring my almost 6 year old Mac Mini Server.
When I take this machine off, I will be replacing 2 x 1TB disks to 1 x 500GB SDD.
This 6 year old Mac Mini has quad core 2.3 Ghz Intel i7 processor.
That is faster than any current Mac Mini which only comes with dual-core i5.
It will be a fun project.

A lot of companies are claiming they have some AI technology behind their products. In many cases, they do not have AI. They may have a very complex and sophisticated computer program, but that is nit AI.
If you give certain question or request to a human, a human does react to it but not 100% same ways. So, you can say if so called AI does only what you expect it too do 100% of the time, it is an intelligent program but not an AI.
AI is simulating human ...that means it must be irrational.
Designing a software is little like Clay Target Shooting". You need to aim for where the target will be instead of where the target is. The only difference is that flat target shooting, the target moves in the predictable direction and predictable speed.

The trend now is to have no office nor assigned desk at your workplace. You show up with your Laptop PC and find the seat and start working. I like that idea.
Let us build a webpage for you.

In Osaka, I saw many fast food stands people were lining up. That is amazing. They are not foreigners, they are Japanese people lining up. Do you think people would like Takoyaki?

Macy's Online
I cannot find 32 x 36 Levi's in the US either.
I saw a large advertisement for LEVI'S in Japan ... Look closely ... the wait is 32 and length 36 ... Who wears that size in Japan. Is this a joke or making fun of people?
For many Japanese companies, the US market is very far away. At the same time, for many US companies, Japanese market is not even in their mind. I think I can help both US and Japanese companies sell products both ways.
![This is not Starbucks.]()
This is not Starbucks.
When I was going to school, Ice Coffee in Japan was a popular drink. But for years, you cannot get Iced Coffee in the US. Only when the espresso drinks became popular Iced Coffee became a norm.
Did you know that?
There was no decaf drip at Starbucks at Itami Airport. So I ordered Decaf Americano ... It was so weak, it was terrible. I returned it. They made on with less water and gave it to me ... I accepted it but I threw it away without letting people at the store know. They may know how to make coffee but they do not know to make good coffee. Especially Decaf.
PS: In Japan, people call Iced Coffee ... Ice Coffee.

I arrive at Osaka from Tokyo using Shinkansen, the bullet train. People are transferring from Shinkansen to local train. They are taking escalator drown at Shin Osaka station.
Tjhios picture is interesting. People who live in Osaka stand on the right side and let people walk on the left. Burt looking at this picture, many of they are standing on the left. That tells me, they are from Tokyo,
When you design in implement a product, you need to understand the culture too.
You don’t see many trash bins in Japan.
Despite that, streets are clean.

Harley-Davidson V-ROD
Developed jointly by HD and Porsche in 2006
2017 was the last model year
It is still the most powerful and fastest HD yet.
It is funny when it comes to buying. People want to own something that is unique to yourself. Like this Harley ... When it was in orioduction until 2017, people did not buy them ... but when the production needed in 2017, people wants them.
This is one of the main reason why I am here in Japan.

I am starting my japan trip tomorrow. I will be back on February 15. I will miss Pompom while I am gone. I am sure people at the company will take good care of him.
Do you want a powerful PC?
If so, you should look into a gaming PC ... rom the cooling to faster RAM and multiple high resolution monitor support, usually gaming PCs provide better solutions. But they are much more expensive than the office PC ... but not as much as an Apple Mac computers.
I found a great deal on one ... Take a look.

Kiroboto is design to help small businesses and individuals promote their products and services.
Product protection ... That is the keyword for online shopping. If only people shop from big name store like Amazon, Costco, Walmart, Target, eBay and use payment assurance like PayPal ... But as more people wanting to sell, product and sales assurance become more difficult and problematic.
So, Intermediating Payments service is something you really need. Kiroboto is trying to incorporate this service on top of the FREE product listing.
Have a Good Weekend!
![eBay Announcement ... Intermed...]()
eBay is happy to announce plans to further improve the customer experience by intermediating payments on our Marketplace platform. In doing so, eBay will manage the payments flow, simplifying the end-to-end experience for both buyers and sellers. We have signed an agreement with Adyen, a leading global payments processor, to become our primary payments processing partner. PayPal, a long-time eBay partner, will be a payments option at checkout for eBay buyers.
You do not need to take any action at this time. The transition to full payments intermediation will be a multi-year journey.
Over the past three years, eBay has transformed its business to drive the best choice, most relevance and most powerful selling platform. Building out our payments capabilities is the next step in that strategy.
Payments intermediation will bring significant benefits for eBay sellers. You can expect a simplified pricing structure, more predictable access to funds, and most sellers can expect their costs of payments processing to be reduced. We’re also working on ways to provide sellers a central place to track and manage their business, which can soon include payments information.
By offering buyers more choice in how they pay and expanding payment options into more geographies, eBay believes sellers will be able to reach more buyers and improve conversion.
The transition to full payments intermediation will be a multi-year journey. eBay will begin intermediation on a small scale in North America starting in the second half of 2018, expanding in 2019 under the terms of the Operating Agreement with PayPal. In 2021, we expect to have transitioned a majority of Marketplace customers to the new payments experience.
Again, you do not need to take any action at this time. As eBay gets closer to the initial phase of its intermediation efforts, we will share more details about this process and next steps for sellers. In the meantime, please read the eBay Inc announcement for further information. For any immediate questions or to share feedback, please email paymentsinfo@ebay.com.
Intermediating payments is the future for online commerce platform starting with P2P transaction. This is the design behind the Kiroboto platform, This is what Alibaba calls, purchase assurance.
Here are the deals I think worth looking at.
